VFO AND MEMORY SCANNING
MEMORY SCAN
1.Set the transceiver up in the memory mode by pressing the [V/M] button, if necessary.
2.Rotate the Main [SQL] knob so that the background noise is just silenced.
3.Press the [M CH] button momentarily.
When you press the [M CH] button, the Red LED im- bedded within the switch should light up, indicating that you are ready to choose a channel into which to store the data.
ADVICE:
If the Red LED imbedded in the [M CH] button does not light up, check to be sure that the orange lamp to the right of the [SUB
4.Press and hold in the microphone’s [UP] or [DWN] key for 1/2 second to start scanning in the specified direction.
ADVICE:
If the scanner halts on an incoming signal, the deci- mal point between the “MHz” and “kHz” digits of the frequency display will blink.
If the incoming signal disappears, scanning will re- sume in about five seconds.
5.To cancel the scanning, press the microphone’s [UP] or [DWN] key momentarily.
ADVICE:
During Memory Group operation, only the channels within the current Memory Group will be scanned.
If the scan has paused on a signal, pressing the microphone’s [UP] or [DWN] key will cause scanning to resume instantly.
If you press the microphone’s PTT switch during scan- ning, the scanner will halt at once. Pressing the PTT switch during scanning will not cause transmission, however.
You may select the manner in which the scanner re- sumes while it has paused on a signal, using Menu item “039 GEnE SCN RSM.” The default “5Sec” setting will cause the scanner to resume scanning after five seconds; you may change it, however, to resume only after the carrier has dropped out, if you like See page 116.

QUICK POINT:
If you have no interest in scanning, and wish to prohibit the microphone’s [UP]/[DWN] keys from initiating scan- ning, you may disable scanning control from the microphone using Menu item “038 GEnE MIC SCN” (set it to “Off”).
